NBA commissioner Adam Silver has said the Nets are always the first to raise their hands when it comes to playing in foreign cities. They will do it again this preseason, when they fly to Montreal to play the Raptors.

Brooklyn will face Toronto on Oct. 10 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. The game was announced Thursday as part of the sixth NBA Canada Series.

“We’re excited for our preseason game in Montreal as part of the NBA Canada Series,” Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. “This will be a good opportunity for our players and staff to experience the rich culture of the city and the exciting atmosphere created by the fans.”

The Nets have played in China (twice), in England and, last regular season, split games in Mexico City against the Heat and the Thunder.

They have been globetrotters since being purchased by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov. The team’s CEO, Brett Yormark, said that isn’t likely to change after Taiwanese billionaire Joe Tsai, co-founder of internet giant Alibaba, agreed to buy 49 percent of the team.

“The Nets are usually the first to raise their hands to go internationally. They’re usually very eager,” Silver said at the time of the Nets’ Mexico trip. “They’ve been to China with us, they’ve been to London and now Mexico City. I credit team president Brett Yormark, who seems particularly interested extending the Brooklyn Nets brand globally.”

The NBA Canada Series also will include the Trail Blazers facing the Raptors at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Sept. 29.

The Nets tendered two-way player Milton Doyle a qualifying offer, according to RealGM. Doyle is now a restricted free agent.

He averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds for the Nets last season and put up 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the G-League.
